US EditionAshok Elluswamy Hints Tesla FSD Could Expand To 'Lot More Countries' After Elon Musk-Led Company Gets Dut
Dutch regulators granted Tesla type approval after extensive testing, and the company says European rules could open access in many more countries.
- Last Friday, the RDW, the Dutch vehicle approval authority, granted type approval for Tesla's Full Self-Driving on public roads in the Netherlands.

- Dutch regulators cautioned that the version approved in the Netherlands is "not comparable" to systems in other markets, citing stricter safety requirements and closer driver monitoring.
- TSLA surged 0.67% during the after-hours trading session on Friday, reflecting investor confidence as Tesla seeks to expand approval across the European Union.
- Regulators are submitting an application to expand approval across the European Union, with officials noting, "The European regulation is followed by a lot more countries than just the ones in EU," signaling potential global reach.
